A male Paradise Birdwing, Ornithoptera paradisea, from Papua New Guinea. This species is CITES protected and this specimen was licenced for export and sale from authorised 'Butterfly ranching' in PNG. The ranching project is designed to encourage small farmers to protect and plant the butterflies' foodplants and discourage overcollecting of adults from the wild. Perfect specimens are generally only possible when the adult is hatched from a wild collected chrysalis or captive reared larvae. It is believed that such collection misses enough individuals to maintain a viable local population and encourages farmers to keep suitable butterfly habitat nearby.
